How to check if your battery is defective ?

• Open you cell phone and check if the battery is of BL-5C Series.

• If yes, on the back side there is a 26 Digit unique code which you need to enter at Nokia Battery Replacement Site .

  

• If the batter is defective you will need to fill up the form with address and the new battery will soon be sent back. You need to send back the old battery to them
• You can also visit you nearest Nokia Center for this.

I would highly recommend to check your battery now and see if its defective. Off the topic but Blogs can be most effective way to send the message through out the world.

Wish you good luck and I hope you are safe. Mind you this accidents are happening only while charging the battery. Normal usage of phone is fine. Just don’t put in charge if you have the defective piece.
